This rat mom saves her baby from a snake

The video was posted on Facebook by Rojas Montecinos Envy, with the caption: 'Today while I was returning home, I witnessed this amazing act of love from a mother'. And it's really amazing.

This shocking video shows a rat saving her baby from a snake on the roadside. Not only she bit and scratched the snake until it was forced to release the baby from its jaws, but she also chased the snake further until it was clearly that the rat and her baby are safe now. Then she returned to her baby and briefly hovered over it as a car passed. She then scooped the baby up in her jaws and scurried off into the brush to safety.

This video shows us also that this bound between a mother and a baby is strong not only among humans but among animals too.
